We’re looking for Management Trainees to join our Management Training Scheme. As a Management Trainee, you’ll be involved in everything from sales and marketing to customer service and finance.
However, you probably won’t be staying as a Management Trainee for long. We believe in promoting almost exclusively from within. In fact, nearly all of our current senior management team began their careers with us as Management Trainees.
Typically our Trainees get promoted at least once within the first year, sometimes more. And many double their salaries when they become Branch Managers. Other perks you’ll enjoy as a Branch Manager include salaried pay, bonuses, and company car privileges.
- Which locations are you recruiting for?
-
We are recruiting throughout the United Kingdom, Ireland and Germany. If you’d like to find out more about specific locations, then log onto our online application system and search through our available job listings. You can also contact a recruiter by dialing 0870 850 1232.

- What exactly does the Management Training Scheme involve?
-
When you join us as a Management Trainee, you’ll start off by taking part in a classroom-based orientation session, before being assigned to a branch office for some hands-on business training. This will include management skills, finance, marketing, operations, sales, and customer service. And it will give you the kind of business knowledge you'd usually only to be able to get from an MBA. Within a year you could be promoted to Assistant Manager. From then on, you'll also receive a percentage of the profits generated by your branch, which means you could be doubling or tripling your salary within just a few years.
- What qualifications do I need to get on the Management Trainee scheme?
-
We’re ideally looking for university graduates, but will also consider school leavers. We look for people who are interested in management and sales as well as working with people. The ideal candidate is hard-working, has good communication skills, likes to work in a team environment and enjoys making decisions.
- What is the deadline for applications?
-
We recruit people on an ongoing basis throughout the year. So whenever you feel like applying, go right ahead.
